MARK WAHLBERG - WAHLBERG PLANS COOKING SHOW FOR JOHNNY DRAMA

MARK WAHLBERG is hoping to turn his cousin into a TV star by pitching a cooking show to America's Food Network channel. Wahlberg has already turned JOHNNY ALVES into a character, JOHNNY 'DRAMA' CHASE, on his hit TV series ENTOURAGE and now he's trying to land his relative his own show. THE DEPARTED star says, "We're trying to put a cooking show together, a cooking and training show for Johnny Drama. It could be a classic." Wahlberg's only fear about the show is how his cousin will react once the cameras start rolling. He explains, "He's a little camera shy... He sees a camera and he just starts sweating profusely. "Surprisingly, he's excited about it (cooking show), but of course when it comes to shoot there's gonna be a sweat-bubble moustache and the whole deal."
